I've seen Ronnie live once and it's even more amazing watching him,his cue action is like liquid gold and his speed of thought and ability to manipulate the cue ball is just memorising the greatest ever
I think even Ronnie's biggest detractors can no longer argue against him being the greatest snooker player in history. I'm 45 and don't expect his records to be broken in my lifetime.
Maybe Judd Trump could be total centuries because he plays in more tournaments and still has quite a few years in the game left. The rest of his records def won’t be beaten in our lifetimes. There’s not a player on the horizon with the talent he had at 16.
5:05 is THE GREATEST SHOT IN SNOOKER HISTORY (IMHO). He put the cueball behind a ball that wasn't there yet. It's so outrageously genius that most people won't even realise the audacity, the effortless mastery. GOAT.
Although he snookered his opponent on the yellow, he left the pink "on". His opponent should have just potted the easy pink and picked up three times as many points. Okay, strictly speaking the yellow should have been potted next, but nobody checks.
That's the idea! As long as you nominate your ball - as you say, "I'll take the pink" - nobody checks. The referee has got bigger things on his or her mind like keeping the hitter-ball clean, putting the helper-sticks back in their places and keeping the chalk topped up. What player in their right mind would go for a lousy 2 points yellow ball when they can get 6 or 7 points for one of the fancier ones. Another top tip: if you want to impress people on your daily commute, buy a copy of The Times, and while you're on the train just fill in the crossword with any old shít. Whose going to check it? When you've filled in all the boxes, chuck the paper into your briefcase (always carry a briefcase - it makes you look super-brainy - and scoff, "pah, that was easy". So much for The Times crossword". I do that every morning and everyone on my train thinks I'm a genius. Little do they know, when we arrive in the city I get on the same train going in the opposite direction, go back home again, and watch repeats of Jeremy Kyle. That's how come I know so much about snooker rules. One of these days I'll make a viral UA-cam video called "Secret Rules of Snooker that nobody except me knows" and I'll become a billionaire like Elon Bezos. You'll be able to say, "I knew that fella when he was a twat". 🤣🤣🤣 PS - I am completely sane. It took Broadmoor's best psychiatrists over 30 years to admit this. @@kevinfairclough4619
The cheat code of snooker - Ronnie O’ Sullivan..left hand right hand..nobody comes close to that skill of playing the same variety of shots equally with both hands.
3:10 is absolutely insane. Doing that on a regular 8ft table with pool pockets is hard enough, but doing so on a 12ft table with snooker pockets is out of this world. Ronnie truly is the best player to have ever touched a snooker cue.
Jaw dropping player. I'm not sure there is anyone so naturally talented in any other sport is there? I love listening to the commentaries, particularly those who take longer to explain a shot than it takes to think it through and play it.
Absolutely incredible! Efren's ability to execute such complex shots is unmatched. Each one of these moments is a testament to his talent and creativity in pool. This video really brings to life the magic of the game. Thanks for sharing! 🌟
Ronnie is the Don Bradman of snooker. Bradman retired 75 years ago, and many of his cricket records are not only still intact, no one has even come close! Ronnie is the same. His fastest 147 will probably last 100 years.
His brain is wired up differently to any non genius so it's a lot easier to be creative. Still has had to do 1000s of hours practice to improve and polish those skills.
Ronnie has the edge. He also could have a lot more world titles had he really cared at a certain stage of his career. Outstanding to watch and the most entertaining break builder
Tiger woods in golf Michael Jordan in Basktball Mohammed Ali in boxing Sachin Tendulkar in cricket Magnus carlsen in Chess There are so many people who have similarly dominated different sports.
We'll be talking about him like the previous generation won't shut up about Alex Higgins, who won it twice. Ronnie will be spoken about in the same breath as Henry Cooper, Lewis Hamilton, Mo Farah, Bradley Wiggins, David Beckham, Ian Botham, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Sally Gunnell, Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, Lester Piggot - the best sportsmen in the world. He's up there.

He is. Alex Higgins and Jimmy White were flair players too, great to watch, but Ronnie just delivers year after year . My highlight of snooker history, though, is from 1986 when Joe Johnson came from nowhere to win the whole blooming thing. Edit. Dennis Taylor in '85 beating Steve Davis was nail bitingly good as well. My wife and I were celebrating our first wedding anniversary, stayed in a hotel, had a lovely meal and a dance or two, retired to our room for conjugal bliss but Dennis and Steve were still at it. To cut the tale short I watched the finale and lost the nuptials as my lovely understanding wife had gone to sleep. Aaah, happy days!
More importantly and in fact more shockingly, what in the name of god’s green earth was Judd trump thinking when he decided to leave the house with that hair?
True legend when he can either play left or right handed and be just as good,maybe they should say to ronnie."You my son can only play with your left hand in this tournament.
More precisely, the clock had been started just after his opponent missed the last shot before Ronnie came to the table. It should have been started when Ronnie hit the first ball. It's a fairly inconsequential mistake to make, because those break times usually are of little interest. Not so in this case.
Following him since 30 years, his ups and downs, this guy is incredible...
Best snooker player ever...
Surely you have been "following him FOR 30 years?
I've seen Ronnie live once and it's even more amazing watching him,his cue action is like liquid gold and his speed of thought and ability to manipulate the cue ball is just memorising the greatest ever
Just today, he said in an interview that the younger players have "slow brains". LOL
Would love to watch him live
It's Joe Davis for me.
The best in a true golden era of talented players.
he's called the Goat for a reason, insane talent

No question best ever to hold a snooker cue .. Alex would have said that too on this evidence
Snookering by using the jaw is one of the most creative plays I've seen. Never seen anyone do that before, incredible

You don’t need to say his name for every clip. It’s in the title. And we see it’s him. It gets really repetitive really quick.
Ronnie O Sullivans impressive long pot
Dude don’t complain mute it then. If the rocket doesn’t make ya grin then you’ve snookered yourself right lad

Thank you for putting this together!
when you have Hendry praising Ronnie you know its something else
There is only one word to describe him and that is “GENIUS” No.1 GOAT
There is something in his brain that make him see things us human cannot see. The skills then make it happen.
His brain is wired up differently to any non genius so it's a lot easier to be creative. Still has had to do 1000s of hours practice to improve and polish those skills.

The best snooker player who has ever held a cue, the Rocket.
The greatest professional sportsman of all time
Exactly.
Messssiiiii
Must you wave your flag?
Ronnie 'The Rocket' O'Sullivan. The G.O.A.T.
Always thought that Stephen Hendry was and always will be the best snooker player that ever lived 🤔 Ronnie has put me in my place 🫣
They both are greatest:^)
Definitely O'Sullivan for me.
Yeah he’s not bad is he. Lol
I just think Steven’s the nicer person. Not that I know either of them but that’s how they come across.
Ronnie has the edge. He also could have a lot more world titles had he really cared at a certain stage of his career. Outstanding to watch and the most entertaining break builder
Simply the best there's ever been.

@@GSMaheshGS some of those suggestions are laughable.

In fact Ronnie did not dominate the snooker almost at all. He had moments but this is not Steve Davis or Stephen Hendry domination.

Best Snooker player ever. Not the easiest going perhaps, but certainly the best.
There will never be another. He is on his tod.
He is.
Alex Higgins and Jimmy White were flair players too, great to watch, but Ronnie just delivers year after year .
My highlight of snooker history, though, is from 1986 when Joe Johnson came from nowhere to win the whole blooming thing.

Dennis Taylor in '85 beating Steve Davis was nail bitingly good as well.

Aaah, happy days!
1.51,that shot is just ridiculous
This guys the reason I tune into the snooker, incredible to watch.
Im going to find that frame with the fastest century ,the rocket one 😅
Ronnie is just a different level of class.
Love your vids mate! But please drop the ridiculous AI generated announcements in betweeen every clip. It's very annoying and dreadful to hear.
More importantly and in fact more shockingly, what in the name of god’s green earth was Judd trump thinking when he decided to leave the house with that hair?
It as popular back then! Besides I think he should try that style again now, he's become incredibly boring...
The youngest and the oldest to win the UK.
I couldn't quite catch it, who is this man again?
No.5 is my favourite snooker shot of all time.
8:12 What isn't shown here, is that Ronnie was not going to pot the Black, he went to walk off until prompted to complete the 147 for the audience!!
They omitted his 146 break statement ! There are quite some 147s , but only one deliberate 146 ~.
AMEN! to that.
No guarantee he would have got the 147 as the black was extremely difficult.
@@johndean4765 lmfao ! Yeah , Right ! Have you seen his 146 ?
True legend when he can either play left or right handed and be just as good,maybe they should say to ronnie."You my son can only play with your left hand in this tournament.
They should enter him twice, once as Righthand Ronnie and once as Lefthand Ronnie.
What can you say. What. Can. You. Say.
I will never, in my life, be as good at anything as Ronnie is at snooker. And I'm okay with that.
Biggest snooker STAR
Words don't do this justice.
Very useful of the voice over from the person telling us "Ronnie O'Sullivan's..." before every single shot!
that 5 crusion shot to red was amazing.
its crazy to be so good at snooker that you start speed running centurys and maximums😂
5:56 is an awesome shot, but it shoud have been mentioned it was not the first attempt.
Thought his fastest break was 5:22. Wasn't there an issue with the timing or something?
Yes, it was long thought to be 5.22. The clock had been started too early, and when they remeasured it a few years ago, it came out as 5.08.
More precisely, the clock had been started just after his opponent missed the last shot before Ronnie came to the table. It should have been started when Ronnie hit the first ball. It's a fairly inconsequential mistake to make, because those break times usually are of little interest. Not so in this case.
